Episode 03: War & Violence | Dr. Hilary Matfess
Why is war so attractive? What drives people to take up arms? And why does violence shape nations, memory, and identity long after the fighting ends?
In this conversation, Dr. Hilary Matfess breaks down war and violence through the lenses of status, citizenship, masculinity, power, and human experience.
This isn’t a lesson in battles, dusty maps, and old dates. It’s a deeper look at what war means, why it endures, and why it still defines so much of our world.
